Book: Warren Beatty Slept with Nearly 13,000 Women

Warren Beatty’s legendary gold crown for womanizing is about to get some added polish, with this week’s publication of Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America – though the 72-year-old star has already issued a statement though his attorney to refute the book’s claims.

“Using simple arithmetic,” author Peter Biskind calculates, according to New York Post, Beatty bedded “12,775 women, give or take, a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on.”

But in a statement to the Huffington Post, Beatty’s attorney, Bertram Fields, denies that the book – which the Post reported was authorized – was, in fact, sanctioned by the actor.

“Mr. Biskind’s tedious and boring book on Mr. Beatty was not authorized by Mr. Beatty and should not be published as an authorized biography,” according to the attorney. “It contains many false assertions and purportedly quotes Mr. Beatty as saying things he never said. Other media should not repeat things from the book on the assumption that they are true or that the book is an authorized biography.”
